openzfsonwindows/openzfs#206 found that it is possible to trip
`VERIFY(list_is_empty(&lwb->lwb_itxs))` when a `zil_commit()` is delayed
by the scheduler long enough for a parallel `zil_suspend()` operation to
exit `zil_commit_impl()`. This is a data race. To prevent this, we
introduce a `zilog->zl_suspend_lock` rwlock to ensure that all
outstanding `zil_commit()` operations finish before `zil_suspend()`
begins and that subsequent operations fallback to `txg_wait_synced()`
after `zil_suspend()` has begun.
On `PREEMPT_RT` Linux kernels, the `rw_enter()` implementation suffers
from writer starvation. This means that a ZIL intensive system can delay
`zil_suspend()` indefinitely. This is a pre-existing problem that
affects everything that uses rw locks, so it needs to be addressed in
the SPL. However, builds against `PREEMPT_RT` Linux kernels are
currently broken due to a GPL symbol issue (#11097), so we can safely
disregard that issue for now.
